While filmmaking is commonly associated with actors or directors, it really does take a village. There are assistant directors, line producers, script supervisors, cinematographers and so many other roles we are unacquainted with that strive to make every frame perfect. And Wild Tapes, a podcast by two 24-year-olds working in the film industry, is an attempt to acknowledge all that hard work.

Saadgi Gupta and Nikita Nevatia conceived of the podcast in July. They set out to interview assistants and associates who have been neck deep in the Mumbai film industry – tapping into Bollywood, web series as well as advertising films. In August they released their first episode with guest Ella Jaiswal, who works as an assistant director, and have since put out 10 episodes.
